3.0 out of 5 stars Fun, but too simpistic September 15, 2010

As this set was obviously marketed towards an older crowd, I think Lego could have afforded to put a little bit more thought into the actual brick set and less on the packaging in this series. The box and the booklet are beautiful, and so is the finished product, don't get me wrong! But I honestly expected to get more out the experience than I did. I was finished with it so fast that it honestly felt really anticlimactic. And while I'm not asking for a super Lego challenge or anything, I think it would have been really nice if they had incorporated a little more detail into the building. Nevertheless, it is a beautiful set and worth collecting.

This was a Father's Day gift for my husband. He love architecture and Legos, so it was the perfect combination. He loved the set, and had fun with our 6 year-old son putting it together. However, I was a surprised at how small the end structure is. The size is in the description, but it still is quite small when all assembled. Regardless, it's a nice set to have and we look forward to buying other sets from this collection of Legos.

It took an 8 yo about 10 minutes to assemble the 80 or so legos in the box - to my mind not worth the money as it provides little challenge - I've learned to pay more attention to the description.
